Let alone there are several states that charge you a nickel for every can of soda, beer, etc, extra just to give you an incentive to return them to get your 5 cents back per can.

Well, other than plastics, where I live I take all my aluminum (3 full 40gal bags) for almost $100.
I have people haul away all the cardboard at the designated recycling spot for cardboard on my property (700+ storage units), and these people make a living doing that with cardboard.
I took in a Full size brass headboard a few years ago, and in return received over $85.
And have you seen the price for copper?!
I.E. - the materials are not "free", even ( & especially perhaps?) if the recycling program is run by your municipality.
Kindest,

What company does anything for the better of the Earth and people unless it gives them and endless supply of money?
If recycling helped as much as it proclais to, why aren't forests being restored due to less need for the materials?
And if your post was sarcastic...and after a reread it seems so. But, No I didn't think it was out of good conscience, which was why I made this post.
